 Riyadh, (IINA) - Under the aegis of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, the International Road Federation Conference (IRFC) is set to begin here on December 15, Arab News reported.
Transport Minister Abdullah Al-Muqbil thanked King Salman for his approval to hold the three-day conference, describing it as an “extension of the generous support to the Ministry of Transport”.
“It’s also a part of the unlimited support to various local institutions operating in the different transport industry sectors which are implementing various road projects in the Kingdom”, he said.
Al-Muqbil also said that the conference will be held at the Riyadh InterContinental Hotel, and it will be attended by experts from the road industry in the Kingdom and other countries.
He added that on the sidelines of the three-day conference, a specialized exhibition will be held featuring photographs and models on road projects and related industries.
He also noted that the event would be an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge on the “latest developments as far as road construction and building techniques are concerned”.
He said that the significance of the conference is “reflected by the fact that massive construction of various projects and infrastructure is currently taking place in the Saudi capital and other parts of the Kingdom”.
